Today I went to Lafayette County Missouri to do some research for a client. The courthouse is the oldest operating courthouse west of the Mississippi River. It was a beautiful old white courthouse. It actually looked like the courthouse in Toulon Illinois. So i'm thinking the same firm designed it.

I went to pick up records for Marraiges, Deeds and Wills and Probates. The staff were very friendly and all the records were computerized. Unfortuantely there computer records are not as accurate as would seem. There was a marriage record that I was looking for that was not in their computer but when we looked at their bound indexes the marriage record was the first one in 1842. The staff knew that the computer was not going to be correct and suggested checking the bound volumes. The staff at the Lafayette County courthouse were very friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with on this project.

If you are researching your family history from this town then you should really check this link. I am going to have to visit this town one of these days. As a lover of history and of freedom I owe it to myself and my children, that we visit this town, meet the people and explore it's history.

Have any of you ever gone to a courthouse to research and find that the staff are less than knowledgeable or are really no help at all?That is what I encountered when I was researching Probates and Wills at the Leavenworth County Kansas courthouse.I arrived at the customer service window and informed the person sitting behind the very thick glass window that I was there to research some records.I told her what records I was going to be looking at and she seemed completely lost as to what it was that I was there to research.So I again informed her only to be told that the person that normally does that is not there and that she did not know anything about those records and could not help me.So I explained to her that I had several years experience and asked her if I could look at them since I knew exactly what I was looking for.She showed me to some books where she again told me she did not know anything about them.Well Luckily I knew exactly what I was looking at as soon as I saw the large bound ledgers of information staring me in the face.

It is always disappointing to go to counties where the employees are completely untrained and uninterested in learning about the old county records that they get to spend hours a day with.I guess it’s just a job to them.Which is too bad because they get to do something I would love to be doing on a daily basis.Of course If I were a county administrator those employees would be spending their days when not assisting customers, indexing those records to get them online.County governments across the country are missing out on a financial windfall with the old records just sitting around their courthouses and employees who are too lazy or unwilling or are uninformed to make a suggestion to get those records online to increase county budgets.

Have you ever encountered a county employee unwilling to assist you or was completely oblivious to the records in their courthouse?
